OREGON PATRIOTISM.
THE SNOW CLAD SUMMIT OF Mt. HOOD
LIT Up
With Red Fire by Patriotic 0regOnians-A PsrilOus
and Unprecedented Feat in the North
west on the Glorious ROurth-TObs
Seen for Fifty Miles

PORTLAND, ORE, July 5.-For the
Fourth of July celebration Portland un-
dertook and successfully carried out an un-
precedented feat in the way Of fireworks.
1t was no less than the illumination of
the summit of Mount Hood, the tallest
snow.covered peak in Oregon, IL, 730 feet
high.
This was done at exactly half past
eleven last night, and the light was plain
ly seen in this city, distance Of fifty-one
miles in straight line The Illuminating
agent was one hundredipounds Of ordinary
red fire,
The task was accomplished by William
G.. Steel, a local explorer of some note,
assisted by Nelson w. Durham, Of the
0regonian staff, and five Others. The
party left here Friday morning last, and
camped Saturday night at the snow line.
From there to the summit the journey
was made on foot over the soft snow, and
in some places hard ice, and in Others,
where steps must De cut with hatchets,
and two dangerous crevices must be
crossed. Besides, five of the party had
each to carry 20 pounds Of red fire in sd-
dition to the blankets.
The arrangement, when they left here,
was for two'of the party to remain on the
summit all night in order to touch of the
fire. This, or course, they must have
done, and it is the first time that human
being spent night on the summit Of the
mountain. The illumination was also
seen in Eastern Oregon, distance of 10
miles. The party began the descent Of the
mountain this morning.

ATLANTA. GA, July 5.-There are sew
eral features of the message which Gov
ernor Gordon will send to the Legislature
tomorrow likely toattract national atten-
ton, and none more 50 than the attitude
which he proposes to take in regard to the
Atlanta University.
This institution is for colored students,
but is taught by white professors who mix
in their own children with the negroes.
Governor GOrdon's idea is to give the State

university. taught by negro professors,
thus cutting of the offending whites.
The Governor renews his plea that-the
convict leases be abolished and that the
convicts be put upon the public works.
He declares the agitation for the payment
of the repudiated bonds to be mischievous,
in that the barriers in the way of payment
are insurmountable. He will call atten-
ton to the barbarous condition of the pris-
ons throughout the State and will urge
more humane treatment of the prisoners.
Upon the question of fprohibitiou, which
inst now supplants Democracy, the Cover

DISASTROUS ERE IN CLARENDON, NEW
YORK--A TOWN SWEPT AWAY.
A Loss Of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand
The Devillsh Work Of . Fiend-Rsysnge
for Loss Of Liesnss-A Dead Body
Found in the Ruins

ERIE, PA, July "a special to the
Erie Dispatch says: At $50 O'Clock on
Monday evening a fire started in what Is
known as the old Snow planning mill ut
Clarendon, seven miles east Of Warren, on
the p. & Z. K. r., and shortly afterward
another was seen issuing from the Weaver
Hotel, owned by John Mshoney. There
was q brisk southwest wind blow
ing, and the fire swept over the
frame buildings like a whirlwind. The
fire department being small was unable to
cope with the two fires and appeals for aid
were sent to Warren.
A steamer and hook and ladder truck
and two full fire companies were sent, ar
irving at Clarendon at ll:30. Every effort
WAS made to save the town, but the depot
OF the Philadelphia and Erie railroad
was the only building Of consequence
saved. The area burned over is about
twenty acres. The value of the buildings
DESTROYED is $3.50, 900, roughly estimated,
while the insurance is small. The adiusters
are now on the ground. 1t is estimated
that /, 100 are homeless tonight.
Some are camped out at Clarendon,
while some have been taken to Warren,
from which place the provisions were sent.
Rough lumber is being sent to Clarendon
rs fast as possible in order that shelter
may be provided for those burned ont.
Il is now well established that the
fire was OF incendiary origiOn. Public
rumor at Clarendon says, that two weeks
ago, when the liquor licenses were re-
fused to all applicants in Warren county,
Mahoney, proprietor of the Weaver House,
threatened tOfire the town ifthe decision oi
the court were not reversed in two weeks.
This morning after the fire burned out,
the citizens looked about for MahOney, for
one of the fires started in his room IN the
hotel, but he was not to be found.
warrant charging him with arson was
sworn out and searching parties secured
the surrounding country to apprehend
him. He was found hiding in the woods,
six miles from Clarendon, and because
lynching was feared, he was taken TO War
rem Jail.
A charred skeleton was found in one OF
the rooms of the hotel and it is supposed
To be that OF hack driver named Sulh
van. who is missing. He was seen about
the hotel early in the evening drunk.

cutiye committee is only to advise and to
act as the agent of the local bodies. The

TIE GRAFTON FIRE.

We are sorry indeed that Chief Dun
MING and the Fire Board could not have
seen their way clear to send prompt aid to
Grafton. In such terrible distress as pre-
vailed in the little city yesterday morning,
and perfectly helpless to stay the lire hend
from utterly annihilating the town, city
like Wheeling, having 50 much interest in
her sister city, should have risked great
deal TO help the helpless. There are times
when some sacrifice OF self should be made,
some great risk taken, and this was an Oc-
casion when our fire authorities should
have promptly risen to the plane, that
makes the pulse quicken and the heart
bound with deepest thanks and gratitude.
True, the arrival of an engine from this city
would have been too late to do any good,
but by diSpatching section OF the depart
ment, say one engine and two hose reels,
instantly to the scene of the contlagIation,
after the call for relief, it would have
shown how willing and sympathetic we
were; how ready at whatever cost TO lend
a helping hand. We think we voice the
sentiment of most Of our people, when We
say ifthe matter had been Left to them to
determine it, word would have been given
to 20. From the tenor of the Chief S
statement we are disposed to believe that
if he had given the Fire Board any encour-
agement they would not have interpOsed
any objection to his fastening TO the
stricken city with all the aid that could
have been spared.

SCRANTON, PA, July Fifteen thou
sand persons attended the Fourth of July
celebration in Court House square last
night.
Mr. Powderly made an eloquent speech
in which he dwelt forcibly on the I'M
pOrtance of the people inCulcating into the
minds of their children the great lessons of
Independence Day.
He said that dollar spent for educa-
ton was better than q million for armor
plate, and that the time had come when
the people of America should give their
attention to the question of immigration.
He thought immigration under certain
wholesome conditions a good thing, but
seemed to think there was altogether too
much of it OF an indiscriminate sort for the
good OF labor. IL he had his way he
would see to it that every immigrant
should be able to show that he was self
supporting for one year before landing on
these shores.

DEAR SIR:-In closing this month, /
close my years work. 1t has had its en-
couragementsa and disbursements. Touch
ing as many lives full OF dark shadows
and darkness, it has taken more than COM
mon faith and common hope and common
courage to toll on, believing that light
and purity might yet spring out Of this
darkness and sin. During the month 1
have visited l75 families; without an ex-
ception | have been kindly received. Have
offered prayer with seventy-fve Of these
families, and read the Bible to twenty-five
of them, Have given out 2tl5 tracts Re-
ported twelve children for Sunday school.
Visited thirty-two sick persons. One
of these who some two months sgo was
led to Christ in connection with my work,
few days ago passed in holy triumph to
the shadowless land-sayed at the last
Have held three Cottage meetings. ] be-
gan my work in October; from that time
until the present have visited I, IA famf
lies; always conversing with them closely
in regard TO the highest interest Of their
highest nature. have prayed in $40 Of
their homes. Read the Word in 100 Of
them. Have distributed ,49S tracts Re-
ported or secured promises from 40 chill
dren to attend Sunday School. Visited
794 sick. Given SO articles Of clothing.
Held Gospel-tsmperance meetings; II
gospel meetings in the old German Church
in South Wheeling; "a neighboring
meetings and mothers meeting; there
have been thirty clear cases Of conversion
among persons Of ripper years. Asit is .
scattering work among migratory peo-
pie, here to-day and gone tomorrow,
have been crippled in my opportunity Of
finding out in how many hearts and lives
there has been fruit from seed-sowing. II
have had success in my work owe much
of it 10 the torbearance with my weak
ness and failures on the part OF the COM
mittee who have had supervision Of my
work; also 10 their ever kindly words OF
cheer and approval instead Of blame. In
deed owe much to the words Of encour-
agement that have come from scores Of
lips, and the assurances Of being upheld in
prayer by faithful hearts. In this my last
report desire to make grateful mention
of the helps received in many ways; es-
pecially the aid | have received from the
W. c. A. in holding my cottage meetings,
and frequently in my house to house visi-
tation. Some have ever stood ready to 20
a. Oft as we have thought II we'll TO call on
them. woald also acknowledge the kind
ness of some of our home physicians who
have aided by the ministry Of practical
medical talks to our women, free Of charge.
Also to the hteiiigencr and REGISTER for
their free advertisements Of these lectures,
together with many Of my meetings.
Many an unnameable cup of cold water
has been given in the name of the Master
clothing, books tracts, provision for the
sick have been among the gifts OF the more
fortunate TO those less highly favored.

The United Labor party will presuma-
